#Three turning points in the life of the hero white horse. #Owner of white horse says he’s other people’s trash but his treasure. “This horse experienced at least three turning points in its short life. The first time happened on the 24th of September, 2024. It was 6-years-old, sick, covered in mange, and shedding constantly. He was sold cheaply at a certain tourist attraction at Hubei, Xiantao. A passer by Khazakhstani Yilibai [sorry, I have no idea what this should be in Kazakh] liked the look of him, bought him, and carefully took care of him, naming him, “White Dragon”. [The horse in Journey to the West] Soon after, White Dragon grew in a new coat of fur and began living next to the Han River with Yilibai.
The second time happened on the 4th of February this year. White Horse leapt into the water with Yilibai to save a stranger who’d fallen in. Although it got a fever the next day but recovered just fine. This time, White Dragon became a hero known around the nation. All the media came to report on it. It attended a medal ceremony conducted by the local government with a red flower on its head. The next couple of days, White Horse saw many strange humans. Some would film him from afar, some would approach for a selfie, some brought apples and carrots. They were all curious but friendly.
Life should’ve gone on smoothly, but within a week, fate took another turn. In the early morning hours of the 11th of February, a much more severe fever came, along with restlessness and stomach pain. After fighting for 20 hours, White Horse ceased breathing under people’s watchful eyes.”
Comments say, “He collected enough karma to reincarnation (believe in science).”
“He’s completed his mission and went back go being a dragon in heaven.”
“He went back to Heaven to make his report.”
“Seriously? Is this not illegal? I came across this in my friend’s circle. Is it really not violation of privacy to dox people who block you? The bottom of the note says that they can see my viewing history, and if I don’t repost it to other people, I’ll get doxxed too.”
[OP shows pictures of someone posting a “Dox ghosting bitches” document, which contains the wechat ID, national ID number, ID photo, and actual name of women who blocked him without warning, along with the line, “Read without repost and you’ll be next. I can see your viewing history.”]
Comments say, “You can report it.”
“This comment section is crazy. People saying all kinds of shitty takes to try to get more likes.”
“Just call the cops.”
“My classmate’s son got himself a girlfriend while studying abroad in America, from the Bride Price region [Jiangxi and other nearby states are well known for having exceptionally high bride price]. She’s even older than him by 3 years. But there’s no point in objecting. They’ve been back to Shanghai for over a year now. The girl’s parents sent over an invitation to eat at a certain restaurant in Shanghai to talk about the situation with the kids.
The girl’s parents are in the export business, and they made their attitude clear. They really like this boy, support this marriage, the guy is eager himself, now it’s just down to what his parents think. The girl can’t wait for too long at her age.
My classmate went to the dinner and his attitude was more or less accepting. Even if he didn’t like it, he had to accept it, since his son likes it. So he was like, “Sure, we agree too. What are your demands? Name them today, and we’ll do our best to satisfy them.”
And the girl’s dad was like, “We do have demands. We’ll bring them all up, and it’s up to you guys. You have to provide the marital house, the value can’t be lower than 20 million. We can put 3 million towards the total, and specify the ratio of ownership according to funds contributed on the deed. We’ll hold the wedding in Shanghai and in our hometown. You can do whatever you want with the Shanghai wedding, but you have to book a 5 star restaurant in our hometown, have 12 tables, and each table has to have a bottle of Moutai, and you have to pay for all of it. You have to buy gold jewellery according to Shanghai custom [three pieces, usually ring+bracelet+necklace]. We’ll accept just 188K in a symbolic bride price, and our daughter will bring it into her new family. And she’ll gift the groom 188K and a Rolex watch.”
My classmate agreed to all of it. Said this was his pride, can’t let Shanghai people be looked down on. My classmate said his wife has had a bitch face on every since she got home, practically steaming in anger over having to buy a bottle of Moutai for 12 tables.”
Comments say, “Why does the guy have to pay for the girl’s side of the wedding? That’s so weird.”
“What’s there to be mad about? You get a portion of the house based on funds contributed, she’s bringing the bride price into the new family, and she’s forking over her own gift. The only thing the man’s really paying for is a wedding banquet.”
“Everything else is fine, but what is up with demanding 20 million for a house right off the bat? If they’re wealthy, why not put 8 or 10 million towards it? If that’s their attitude despite being older than 3 years, that means the son is only so-so too. There’s nothing you can do about it even if you’re mad.”
#Worker writes speech review and exceeds word count by 1398 words and is fined 6990RMB. #Company responds to fining workers 5RMB per word over word limit. “On the 11th of February, in Hubei, Wuhan, rumours say that a certain Wuhan company required worker to write afterthoughts on the CEO’s speech and the newly published management policies, requiring 800-1000 words. If the word count falls under or exceeds, workers will be fined 5 RMB per word. In the video, the document showed that a total of 381 people were fined. One worker exceeded the word count by 1398 words and was fined 6990RMB. This document points out that, according to the policy of “education first, learn from your mistakes”, they lessened the punishment this time so that anyone with a fine over 200RMB can just pay 200RMB. A worker at said company responded in regards to this, that this year, the company is strengthening its management of workers and will require all workers follow rules and regulations and perform their words according to standard.”
Comments say, “Can’t even go one word over? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.”
“You could accidentally go “bankrupt” hahahahaha！”
“This company doesn’t allow anyone to take time off before the holidays. If you didn’t get approval, you got fined, and if you did get approval, you still got fined. And after fining the workers, they’ll fine whichever manager approved the leave. Seems like you gotta raise revenue internally.”
”Came across a post, family of four in Shanghai, husband used to be high income but got laid off and hasn’t found work in half a year. Anything he can find pays very, very little. The lady is complaining about how she’s on the verge of a breakdown every day. They fight every day because of the economic pressures.
Their life used to be super comfy. The husband was an elite at an IT company and made 70K a month. The wife was stay-at-home. They’ve got two kids, one in primary school, one in daycare. Their monthly expenses used to look like this:
30K a month on mortgage.
Extracurriculars plus daily expenses for the kids, 10K.
Groceries, 8K, usually cook at home, rarely eat outside.
Hired a maid, 2K a month.
Plus other miscellaneous expenses like clothes, makeup, cigarettes, phone bill, car, another 10K.
When I saw this, what i was thinking was what’s wrong with young people these days? If they make a ton of money, they just spend it right away? They don’t save at all? There are so many things you could cut out of the budget in this house. Do you really need to spend 10K a month on your kids’ extracurriculars? Cooking at home is really cheap, do you really need to spend 8K a month?
As for hiring a maid, the wife is stay-at-home anyways. When the kids are at school, why not do the housework by yourself and save what you can? When it comes to clothes and makeup, just get what you can afford. You just have to hold back a little and you could’ve saved some money.”
Comments say, “Why are so many people complaining about the wife here? Obviously, the whole family agreed on their previous level of spending. Would this elite IT guy even have married a woman who only spent 500RMB a month?”
“You could cut the amount spent on clothes and makeup by at least a half. If the kids are in school, you can cut the tuition costs by half too. There aren’t many good tuition courses for kids this little. It does take at least 8K to feed a whole family + fruits and snacks + milk, though. Can’t save on that. But you can change the maid to an hourly service that comes once a week and save half.”
“High mortgage + two kids + stay-at-home spouse…this combination is super risky.”
#Police announce a security guard beat a delivery driver with a baton. “According to Chengdu police announcements, around 6PM on the 11th of February, at the entrance of a certain development in Wo District, Hualin Second Street, Mr. Shen (male, 25-years-old) failed to park his scooter in the designated area while delivery takeout. The development’s security guard, Mr. Zhao (male, 39-years-old) was cussed out by Mr. Shen while attempting to stop him. Mr. Zhao then pulled out a baton and beat Mr. Shen. The police arrived and took both into custody. Mr. Shen is recovering well after being treated at the hospital.
So far, Mr. Zhao has been jailed and fined for assaulting another. At the same time, Mr. Shen has been given a stern lecture for cussing out other people. Both of them have realised their mistake and apologised to each other.”
Comments say, “He’s specifically beating him in the head!”
“Classic underclass infighting.”
“He’s better off just lying down and demanding money.”
A 20 million house and they are upset about 12 bottles of Moutai? They should buy the cheapest Moutai, something other than Kweichow.
